What is the Meadowlark house sound?

Responses suggest Meadowlark went under. What gives? I've heard nothing.
Always liked Kestrals.

Meadowlarks offer tremendously clean and clear sound. Very open and spacious. Midrange and treble is glare free and easy to listen to, but with the detail and clarity. Bass is where I have always found these smaller Meadowlarks to fall down. Lightweight and underwhelming considering the true transmission line bass loading. Would love to hear the larger models, as they probably do not disappoint in the low end.

Agree that bargains for a very, very good speaker can be had since the company's unfortunate demise.

The drivers appear to be off-the-shelf, so it should be possible to repair them. The cabinetwork is first-rate from what I've seen and almost stands on its own.

Besides that, I'll bet McGinty will re-organize, or form or join another company. "He's not dead, he's just resting." :-)

If you like the way they sound and find a pair at a good price - why not?

Clean, clear, non tiring, all of the music comes through.
My Blue Herron 2's are the most secure components in my system. They will not be on the block for many, many years.

Like Joe, I was unimpressed with the smaller Meadowlarks (like the Swifts) which sounded flat and unengaging. The Osprey's are where things get interesting; I've heard them with Cary tube amps and as I recall they lean somewhat to the rich/warm side, and are much more engaging.

My personal opinion, though, is that for the (retail, anyway) price there are more impressive offerings.

Just my two cents.
